Overview

Objective:
Our aim was to evaluate life satisfaction in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and its association with depression, anxiety, cognitive difficulties and severity of disability.

Subjects and methods:
We assessed life satisfaction with Questionnaire of Life Satisfaction (QLS), cognitive difficulties with Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire (MSNQ), depression and anxiety with Beck Depression Inventory (BDΙ) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in 60 patients with CIS and 42 healthy volunteers. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was used to evaluate severity of disability in patients with CIS.

Results:
We found lower total QLS score and lower specific QLS subscores (evaluation of health, marriage and partnership and sexuality) in patients with CIS compared to controls (p ≤ 0.048). Patients with CIS had higher BDI and BAI scores compared to controls (p ≤ 0.026). We also found negative correlation between scores for BDI, BAI and MSNQ, total QLS score and the specific QLS subscores in patients with CIS (rsp ≤ –0.260; p ≤ 0.045). EDSS was negatively correlated with QLS subscore “evaluation of work and employment” (rsp = –0.267; p = 0.041).

Conclusions:
In this study, we found lower life satisfaction in patients with CIS who are at high risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Lower life satisfaction in patients with CIS was more strongly associated with severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms and cognitive difficulties than with severity of disability.

Key words:
multiple sclerosis – clinically isolated syndrome – life satisfaction – anxiety – depression – cognitive difficulties – disability

Chinese summary - 摘要

临床孤立综合征患者的生活满意度评估

目的:

我们的目标是评估临床孤立综合征(CIS)患者的生活满意度及其与抑郁、焦虑、认知障碍和残疾严重程度的相关性。

主题和方法:

研究对象包括60名CIS患者和42名健康志愿者,我们使用生活满意度问卷(QLS)评估其生活满意度,使用多发性硬化症神经心理学筛查问卷(MSNQ)评估其认知障碍,贝克抑郁量表(BDI)和贝克焦虑量表(BAI)被用来评估抑郁和焦虑程度。扩展的残疾状态量表(EDSS)被用来评估CIS患者的残疾严重程度。

结果:

与对照组相比,CIS患者的QLS总体评分和部分QLS子项评分较低(健康状况,婚姻状况和合作关系以及性行为评估)(p≤0.048);BDI和BAI评分较高(p≤0.026)。我们还发现CIS患者的BDI,BAI和MSNQ得分、QLS总体得分和部分具体QLS得分之间呈负相关(rsp≤-0.260;p≤0.045)。EDSS与QLS “工作和就业评估”子项目分数呈负相关(rsp = -0.267; p = 0.041)。

结论:

在这项研究中,我们发现具有发展为多发性硬化症高风险的CIS患者的生活满意度较低。与残疾严重程度相比,CIS患者较低的生活满意度与抑郁程度、焦虑症状和认知障碍相关性更强。
